Mr.. John T. Patrick, Commissioner
of immigration, has matured a plan
for securing the establishment of
manufacturing enterprises in our State
and which, it seems to us, is entirely
practicable. Write to him for blanks
and circulars showing the plan. He
says:
alt is generally understood that
n thing needed to make North Caro-
lima more prosperous r manufactur-
ing enterprises. They giye employ
ment to a number of persons that can
not do ordinary work they create a
demand and home market for products
raised upon the farm. They give u S
tom to merchants, increase the bust
ness of every profession and trade
and aid in bearing the burden of taxa
ton.
"Our people as a rule do not under
stand manufacturing, and therefore
the chance of succeeding if they I'M
dertake it on their own account is
lessened, for few can succeed at a
business they do not fully understand.
For this reason, North C~arolinians
who have the means are backward
about investing in manufacturing en-
terprises, and we must look for per-
sons to engage in such enterprises out
side of our State, and should, in some
way, attract the attention of practical
manufacturers, and offer such induce
ments as will cause them to locate in
the State.
az have prepared blank circulars,
which will be sent to prominent gen
tlemen in each county, and hope they
will make a persistent offer to get the
professional and business men, the
farmers, and all those who are able to
aid in this direction by agreeing to
subscribe an amount of land for a loca-
ton, and a sum of money which will
be offered as a bonus to those estab-
fishing the enterprise. The land or
money is not to be paid until they are
sure the factory will be located as
agreed"

revision of the law, in many import
ant particulars. But let our county
commissioners avail themselves of
such advantages as may be derived
from the law in it's present shape, and
give to their people the benefit Of their
convict labor and thus save what
they can to the taxpayers OF their
counties. The legislature should be
made up of men who will try to make
the penitentiary as nearly se~lf-sustain-
ing as possible and the voters of the
State should see to it.

This body will meet in the city of
Chicago, November 10th, 18th and
18th. Gov. Scales has appointed the
following gentlemen as delegates to rep
resent u State in the Congress. For
the State at large: Col. T. M. Holt,
Of Alamance and Capt. S. B. Alexan-

tend to farming lands. Why is

this so?
It is not u purpose today to at
tempt to answer this question, but to
say that there Is one man in North
Carolina who is devoting all his time
and talents to stirring up the farmers
to answer the question for themselves,
and to devise ways for bringing about
the betterment of the condition OF
their farms. That man deserves the
cooperation of all who know that
,there can be no substantial prosperity
that has not it's basis IN agriculture.
He has established an enterprise that
has this object in view, and in the
success of his enterprise all North
Carolinians are more or less interested.
The man who is doing so much for
the farming interests of the State is
Col. L. L. Polk; and the enterprise
which he has established is The Pro
GREssIvE FARMER, which has been a
faithful and serviceable friend to all
plans and measures that will aid the
farmer. Col. Polk has not contented
himself with speaking to the farmers
through the columns of his paper, but,
often at great personal inconvenience,
he has gone through the State giving
utterance to, truths that the farmers
have heard gladly. With commend
able energy, and impassioned earnest
ness, he has done more in the past
year to make the farmers pause and
resolve to better their condition than
any man, known to us, in North Caro-
lima. For this he deserves the thanks
Of all men, and the support and CO.
| operation of all farmers.
Col. Polk is publishing at Raleigh a
frst-class paper-THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER-which is devoted entirely to
the interest of North Carolina farm
ers. The Chronicle is glad to know
that it is succeeding, but we do not
believe it is receiving that united sup
port of the farmers to which it's merits
entitle it.
We have no desire to boom Col.
Polk or his paper, and we write this
merely because we think his services
are not as highly appreciated as they
deserve to be, and because we know
that he is doing good. He is laboring
to make his paper useful in the largest
degree to farmers. He cannot do
that unless the farmers rally around
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER. It is we'll
worthy of their patronage; it will
grow better every day with the in
crease of its patronage. We are in
terested in it's success because it has
capabilities for doing great good, and
because Col. Polk is so periodically
and z~ealously working for the welfare
of the State, especially it's farming in
terests.
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER ought to
have ten thousand subscribers before
January LIST, 1888. 1t richly deserves
! them.

COUNTY ALLIANCES

Will select delegates, three for each
County Alliance, to meet in Rocking
ham on Tuesday, the 4th of October,
for the purpose of organizing a State
Alliance. Delegates will bring proper
credentials from their respective ALI
ances. Mr.. N. H. G.. Elliott, Of
Texas, National Lecturer and Organ
izer, will be present. 1t is exceedingly
important that each county select and
send to this meeting the very best
business talent and character among
it's membership. Let every County
Alliance have it's full representation
present promptly at the opening of the
meeting.

SUBSCRIBERS, READ THIS.

Is there a Cross Mark on the margin of
your paper? We adopt this as the simp-
lest and easiest method of informing our
patrons that their terms of subscription
have expired, and that the paper will be
stopped if we do not hear from you. We
know "times are hard" on every
body, and especially is this true of
newspapers, and particularly agri-
cultural papers. But we must help
each other as best we can. If, therefore,
you are not prepared to renew for the
Whole year, renew for a part of the time,
and this will enable you to have time to
make us up a club, for which you will get
the paper ~ year free Of charge. So if
you see the Cross Mark, let us hear from
you.

1.-The last legislature provided (by
Oh. 355, Laws 1880 that any county
whose county commissioners may so
elect, may work it's prisoners sentenced
to jail, also it's ~penitentiary convicts,
sentenced to less than ten years, on
the public roads of the county. Ire
dell, Rowan, Davidson and other
counties are so doing. The result is
that prisoners instead Of lying idle in
jails are working the roads, and the
number being sent to the penitentiary
is diminishing. This may soon solve
the penitentiary pEoblem."-Neaos and
Observer.
In the very first issue Of The Pro
GREss1vE FARMER we took the position
that the convicts should be put on the
public roads that it was an outrage
ON the taxpayers Of the State to give
this labor to any man or men. We
are still of that opinion. We have
given much of our editorial space to
the consideration of this subject, and
we intend to keep it up until the
rights of the people are respected and
protected. We are bold to say that
the men who came to the legislature
and voted to gee array this labor, either
to andavaduols or corporations, should
be held responsible for it before the
bar of public opinion.
The taxpayers of the State should
look into these matters and see who
the men are who have perpetrated
this great outrage OF their rights.
In. u judgment, justice alike to the
criminal and to the State demands a
change in our convict system, and a

HOW THEY DO IN TEXAS.

y Our Alliance readers will be in
terested in the following statement of
the progress of the order in Texas, as
given by President Macune to the
editor Of the Mercury. 1t relates
particularly to the work at headquar-
ters, where is established the cotton,
stock and produce exchange. We
clip from the Mercury, the official organ
of the Alliance:
We regret that owing to circum-
stances beyond the control of our
business agent, the Exchange could
not possibly get in shape to handle our
cotton until this week. Our cotton
has opened and gathering was begun
earlier than usual, hence our brethren
have been exceedingly anxious to get
their cotton on the market, and have
consequently been pressing US heavily
with questions to know just how the
Exchange is to be run and just when
it would be ready to receive cotton
and how it would receive it.
We nov propose to give the follow
ing facts, obtained from Bro. G. w.
Macune, as nearly a S possible in his
own language.
The Exchange is now ready for
business and cotton samples are pour
ing in. We have secured the services
Of a cotton expert and have begun
work in earnest. We received 200

SENSIBLE SUGGESTIONS.

Commissioners Robinson, in the
September Bulletin, discusses the agri-
cultural situation and among other
things, he says:
Il take this opportunity to suggest
to the farmers of the State, and urge
them, to utilize every possible means
to increase the supply of meat, and
especially pork. It will be scarce the
coming year, and the price will be in
creased in proportion. The great
droughts which have been raging in
the Northwest for months have cut off
the feed supply of the porkers, so that
there will be a diminution in the
supply of meat from that source. The
farmers of the State should turn over
a new leaf in this respect. They
should go back to raising hogs, and
sheep and cattle. 1t is true economy
to do so. No farm is complete with
out stock. Begin now, by getting a
calf or some pigs, if o cannot be
gotten at once, and make a start.
ll1CI0 Is oil dUlllllldI1CO vi CO11I Ill
year, and many a shoat is running at
large that could be converted into 100
or more pounds of wholesome meat
by the close of the year. Lose no
more time, but get them into PEN"
These suggestions are wise and are
the more pertinent because of the dis
astrous drought which has cut off the
grain and grass crops of the great
Northwest. Pork will be higher next
season. But whether high or low, our
farmers cannot afford to depend on
eight cent cotton with which to buy
it. Let us raise our own supplies at
home. This is the only safe rule. We
are not prepared, however, to endorse
the assertion of the Commissioned, that
"The farmers of the State are in a
more prosperous condition than they
have been in a quarter of a century
before"
We sincerely believe that SO far
from this being true, they are in a
eoorse condition, financially, ethan they
have been in a quarter of a century
before" If those who are disposed
to give a rose-coloring to the situation
will take the trouble to examine the
records in the Offices of our Registers
of Deeds, they will be convinced.
Only last Sabbath a gentleman stood
in the yard of n of u country
churches and said "There are at
least seventy of these men owing me
for fertilizers" But we most heartily
agree with the Commissioner in the
hope that, b judicious management,
our farmers can regain their host
fground and that the dayis~not distant
when they maybe ii a better condition
than they have been in a quarter Of a
century. But to do this they must
organize and take care of their own
Interests.

In writing to this office to change the
address of a paper, Our subscribers will do
US a favor by stating the Office at which
the paper is received, as well as the one

work, but much loss of time, when time
is valuable.

OUR PAPER. (cN

Our readers know that it is not our
habit to occupy space in these columns
with compliments to The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER. It would have the appear
ance of -self-laudation. But we most
gratefully appreciate the many kind
and pleasant things said of us by our
brethren of the press and by our
friends throughout the State. We
give place, however, to the following
from the pen of our esteemed friend,
Mr.. Daniels, of the State Chronicle,
with the hope that his stirring SEN
fences on behalf Of the great agricul-
tural interests Of the State and Of The
PROGREssivE FARMER may stimulate
our people to greater and more earnest
endeavor in the work Of putting more
life into all our industrial interests.
Such generous expressions of good
will from such a man, and appearing in
the editorial columns of such a paper
as the State Chronicle, commands our
warmest and most sincere acknowledge

that there is no demand for farm lands.
